Your First Consultation after an Auto Accident Injury: What to Expect

It happens in the blink of an eye, but the effects can be overwhelming and long-lasting. Car accidents usually take the injured parties by complete surprise. The jolt of an auto accident often takes time and specialized care to properly rectify your injuries. This is exactly why it’s so imperative to seek out medical attention and examination after an auto accident, even if you don't feel injured. Pinpointing the causation and bodily damage you have received from an accident is your first step in making sure you heal properly. At Sunnyside Wellness and Chiropractic Center, we pride ourselves on diagnosing and treating a wide array of patients and conditions, including problems associated with or caused by auto accidents. In fact, we have been helping patients in and around the Fresno and Clovis, CA, areas feel better for nearly 40 years. Accordingly, we supply patents with a comprehensive approach to their pain management and treatment, beginning with a thorough chiropractic diagnosis. 

Upon meeting Dr. Potigian and his staff for an initial consultation, patients will describe their medical histories and the nature of their recent injuries. Additionally, their vital signs are taken and areas of pain are examined, with further exploratory examinations, such as x-rays, as needed. Our approach looks to take into account not just the immediate needs, but the patient's well-being as a whole, with total wellness as an overarching goal. We understand that an auto accident injury may encompass much more than just the visible or noticeable bumps and bruises, and a trained chiropractic doctor must look for the root causes of pain and restricted mobility. In addition to the chiropractic care available, we also offer our patients consultations on diet and nutrition in order to complement their journey back to healthy living.   

For prospective patients in and around Fresno and Clovis, CA, you can contact us directly by phone (559-454-1000), make an appointment online through our scheduler, or download our new patient forms to help expedite the process. We look forward to helping you soon.
